Progress notes are one way to be sure funds are used appropriately to meet the needs of people served. The goal of this guide is to help Personal Support Workers (PSWs) write useful progress notes. This document is online at the Office of Developmental Disabilities Services website for Provider Resources.  \nWebsite  \n[https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/providers-partners/idd/pages/default.aspx](https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/providers-partners/idd/pages/default.aspx)  \nUsing this Guide: This guide can be used as one complete document, or each section can be used individually. Quick reference pages, resources and learning activities are included.  \nProgress Notes  \nA progress note is written information that describes what you did to meet the needs of the person you serve. You must document your PSW activities in progress notes.  \nPurpose  \nPaychecks  \nYou must turn in a progress note with each timesheet. Your payment could be delayed until missing progress notes are turned in.  \nBilling  \nMedicaid requires that PSW providers keep records to document “the extent of services the provider furnishes to recipients”. Progress notes are evidence that the service was provided. They are important for payment of service claims.  \nLegal Record  \nYour notes become part of the person’s permanent legal record. Progress notes may be used in legal proceedings, audits or investigations. They can also provide a paper trail in case of conflict or difficult situations.  \nMonitoring  \nServices Coordinators and Personal Agents review progress notes to see how supports are working. They document progress towards a person’s Individual Support Plan (ISP) goals and desired outcomes. Your progress notes are a valuable source of information.  \nQuality Care  \nQuality progress notes are important to a person’s care. The team gains information from your records. At times this may include support staff, medical staff, therapists, and others.  \nA Person’s story  ","cbCaihUA9FTUn5JY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihUA9FTUn5JY","pdf",629044,"English","# About this Guide\n## Progress Notes\n## Purpose\n# What to Include\n## Examples","[{\"question\":\"Why are progress notes required for PSWs in Oregon?\",\"answer\":\"Progress notes document PSW activities to help ensure Medicaid funds are used appropriately, support payment of service claims, and create a record for monitoring, audits, and legal proceedings.\"},{\"question\":\"What must a progress note include?\",\"answer\":\"A progress note should include the PSW’s name, the individual’s name, the date of service, the date of the progress note, and a clear description of actions taken and supports provided, including health and safety, other needs, and progress toward ISP goals.\"},{\"question\":\"When and how should progress notes be submitted?\",\"answer\":\"Progress notes must be turned in with each timesheet, and submitting them in a timely manner helps keep the team informed; notes can be submitted on a separate page and should be typed or written clearly.\"}]","Progress Notes Toolkit - A guide for Personal Support Workers serving people with disabilities in Oregon | PDF"]
